Podcasts about Hypothyroidism

Have you ever been told to test your thyroid levels a few hours after taking your medication? What if I told you that one small timing mistake could completely throw off your results—and lead to the wrong treatment plan? In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common (and costly) thyroid testing mistakes: drawing your labs at the wrong time. I explain why testing “at the peak” doesn't make sense scientifically, how it can create false high readings, and what actually happens in your body when you take T3 or NDT medication. You'll hear real examples from my own experiments and patients so you can finally understand what those lab numbers really mean—and when you should be testing for an accurate picture of your thyroid health. If you've been told your labs look “fine” but you still feel tired, foggy, or stuck with symptoms, this episode will make it all click. I'll teach you the timing strategy that can completely change how your medication is adjusted and how you feel every day. Don't miss it!

This podcast is sponsored by YARAL Pharma.  In this episode, we are focusing on the management of hypothyroidism -- a treatable, but not curable condition – and will explore unique challenges for patients with hypothyroidism in long-term care – from tolerability and formulation considerations to consistent dosing and patient needs. Dr. Tamara Ruggles is not affiliated with YARAL Pharma. All views and opinions regarding hypothyroidism are solely her own and are not attributable to YARAL or the Pharmacy Podcast Network. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for levothyroxine sodium capsules INDICATION AND USAGE Levothyroxine sodium capsules are L-thyroxine (T4) indicated for adults and pediatric patients 6 years and older with: Hypothyroidism - As replacement therapy in primary (thyroidal), secondary (pituitary), and tertiary (hypothalamic) congenital or acquired hypothyroidism Pituitary Thyrotropin (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, TSH) Suppression - As an adjunct to surgery and radioiodine therapy in the management of thyrotropin-dependent well differentiated thyroid cancer Limitations of Use: Levothyroxine sodium capsules are not indicated for suppression of benign thyroid nodules and nontoxic diffuse goiter in iodine-sufficient patients as there are no clinical benefits and overtreatment with Levothyroxine sodium capsules may induce hyperthyroidism. Levothyroxine sodium capsules are not indicated for treatment of transient hypothyroidism during the recovery phase of subacute thyroiditis WARNING: NOT FOR THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY OR FOR WEIGHT LOSS Thyroid hormones, including levothyroxine sodium capsules, either alone or with other therapeutic agents, should not be used for the treatment of obesity or for weight loss. In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger doses may produce serious or even life-threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with sympathomimetic amines such as those used for their anorectic effects. Contraindications Uncorrected adrenal insufficiency Warnings and Precautions Cardiac adverse reactions in the elderly and in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease: Initiate Levothyroxine sodium capsules at less than the full replacement dose because of the increased risk of cardiac adverse reactions, including atrial fibrillation Myxedema coma: Do not use oral thyroid hormone drug products to treat myxedema coma Acute adrenal crisis in patients with concomitant adrenal insufficiency: Treat with replacement glucocorticoids prior to initiation of levothyroxine sodium capsules treatment Prevention of hyperthyroidism or incomplete treatment of hypothyroidism: Proper dose titration and careful monitoring is critical to prevent the persistence of hypothyroidism or the development of hyperthyroidism Worsening of diabetic control: Therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus may worsen glycemic control and result in increased antidiabetic agent or insulin requirements. Carefully monitor glycemic control after starting, changing, or discontinuing thyroid hormone therapy Decreased bone mineral density associated with thyroid hormone over-replacement: Over-replacement can increase bone reabsorption and decrease bone mineral density. Give the lowest effective dose Adverse Reactions Common adverse reactions with levothyroxine therapy are primarily those of hyperthyroidism due to therapeutic overdosage. They include the following: General: fatigue, increased appetite, weight loss, heat intolerance, fever, excessive sweating Central Nervous System: headache, hyperactivity, nervousness, anxiety, irritability, emotional ability, insomnia Musculoskeletal: tremors, muscle weakness Cardiovascular: palpitations, tachycardia, arrythmias, increased pulse and blood pressure, heart failure, angina, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest Respiratory: dyspnea Gastrointestinal (GI): diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, elevations in liver function tests Dermatologic: hair loss, flushing Endocrine: decreased bone mineral density Reproductive: menstrual irregularities, impaired fertility Adverse Reactions in Children Pseudotumor cerebri and slipped capital femoral epiphysis have been reported in children receiving levothyroxine therapy. Overtreatment may result in craniosynostosis in infants and premature closure of the epiphyses in children with resultant compromised adult height. Seizures have been reported rarely with the institution of levothyroxine therapy. Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions to inactive ingredients (in this product or other levothyroxine products) have occurred in patients treated with thyroid hormone products. These include urticaria, pruritis, skin rash, flushing, angioedema, various GI symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea), fever, arthralgia, serum sickness and wheezing. Hypersensitivity to levothyroxine itself is not known to occur. Drug Interactions: Many drugs and some foods can exert effects on thyroid hormone pharmacokinetics (e.g., absorption, synthesis, secretion, catabolism, protein binding, and target tissue response) and may alter the therapeutic response to Levothyroxine sodium capsules. Administer at least 4 hours before or after drugs that are known to interfere with absorption. See full prescribing information for drugs that affect thyroid hormone pharmacokinetics and metabolism. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Yaral Pharma Inc. at 1-866-218-9009, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. For Full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, go to www.yaralpharma.com/levothyroxine-pi.

What's the best thyroid medication to be on — NDT, T4, T3, or a combination? And how do you actually know what's right for your body? In this episode, I'm breaking down the nuanced art of thyroid optimization — from natural desiccated thyroid (like Armour or NP) to biosynthetic options such as Synthroid, Tirosint, and Cytomel. I explain why there's no one-size-fits-all treatment, what to consider if you have Hashimoto's, and how fillers, conversion issues, and reverse T3 can all impact how you feel. You'll learn how to spot when your thyroid meds need tweaking, why “natural” doesn't always mean better, and how to use your labs and symptoms together to guide your treatment. If you've ever felt confused about which thyroid medication is best or frustrated that your current dose isn't working, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and questions to bring to your next appointment — so you can finally get the right combination, in the right dose, for you.

Is muscle really the secret to aging well—and could new tech make it easier than ever to keep it? In this episode, I sit down with Alex Birks, a muscle tech innovator, to uncover the surprising truth about muscle health and why it may be the most overlooked key to longevity. We talk about the ways muscle connects to everything from hormones to cardiovascular health, and why losing it accelerates disease, injury, and aging itself. You'll also hear how Alex's own devastating injury led him to create a breakthrough wearable, now used by professional athletes and everyday people alike, that makes building and preserving muscle faster and more accessible than ever before. We go deep into the science of targeted compression training, what it actually does inside your body, and why it can mimic the effects of high-intensity workouts in just minutes. You'll learn why muscle isn't about looking bulky, but about living independently, avoiding chronic pain, and keeping your hormones and metabolism in balance. From perimenopause to post-injury recovery, from busy professionals to aging grandparents, this conversation will open your eyes to how muscle health is the missing piece you can't afford to ignore.

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but most people may not use them in the best way especially with thyroid issues. McCall McPherson joins Inna to explain why standard dosing creates all the side effects you hear about, and how a specific way of microdosing changes everything,  especially for those with thyroid conditions.This conversation goes beyond weight loss. McCall breaks down how to use GLP-1s properly for thyroid bodies so food, muscle, and metabolism stay intact. She shares why slower loss is actually healthier, how to know if your doctor's approach is too aggressive and the overlooked benefits these medications can bring when done right.One of the biggest? Inflammation. They discuss how proper use can calm inflammation in ways food alone sometimes can't, and what happens to markers and symptoms when it does. They also dive into low dose naltrexone, when to pair it with GLP-1s, and how it supports autoimmunity without shutting down the immune system.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/glp-1s-microdosing-thyroid-inflammation-hashimotos-mccall-mcpherson/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

What if everything you thought you knew about cancer treatment wasn't the full story? In this episode, I continue my conversation with Dr. Donese Worden, digging even deeper into the world of integrative and alternative therapies for cancer. We explore the risks and rewards of different approaches, from hormones and red light therapy to ozone, ivermectin, mistletoe, and beyond. Dr. Worden shares what the research really says, how to balance intuition with science, and why cancer is far smarter than most people realize. You'll also hear about cutting-edge testing like the DataR test, which reveals how your unique cancer cells respond to specific therapies—including natural agents, repurposed drugs, and more. If you've ever wondered which alternative treatments hold promise and which ones are pure hype, this episode will open your eyes to what's possible when you pause, educate yourself, and take back control of your health journey.

In this Thyroid Answers Shorts episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage explores the critical role your mitochondria—the true powerhouses of your cells—play in thyroid health and recovery. Too often, thyroid care focuses solely on optimizing lab values like TSH, Free T4, or Free T3. But true recovery isn't about chasing numbers. It's about understanding what happens inside your cells. Dr. Balcavage explains how cellular stress impacts mitochondrial function, how this stress disrupts thyroid hormone conversion, and why patients can still feel hypothyroid even when their labs look “normal.” In this episode, you'll learn: Why mitochondria are the missing link in thyroid recovery. How cellular stress shifts thyroid physiology away from homeostasis. Why simply adding more T4 or T3 may provide temporary relief but rarely leads to lasting recovery. Practical ways to support mitochondrial health and improve thyroid function. Whether you're on thyroid medication, exploring functional medicine, or still searching for answers, this episode will help you understand why addressing mitochondrial health is essential for lasting thyroid recovery.

MTHFR Stories are interviews with regular people who have MTHFR and are willing to share their health journey to help others. Mary's MTHFR journey centers around pregnancy loss with several second-trimester miscarriages and a stillbirth. She bravely talks about the exhaustion that she has struggled with after such a deep physical toll was taken on her body by the pregnancies, and the emotional journey she has been on. Mary has other issues associated with MTHFR as well including hypermobility and hypothyroidism, both of which contributed to her difficult pregnancies. Mary's journey is a reminder to women to advocate for themselves, not to blindly trust it when your doctor says "it's normal," and to do their own research about recommendations, such as 5 mg of folic acid for women struggling with infertility who also have MTHFR gene mutations. 00:46 - Mary and MTHFR01:46 - Hypermobility and MTHFR02:29 - Bad reactions to methylfolate (migraines)03:15 - More about hypermobility04:14 - Pregnancy loss and infertility with MTHFR06:04 - Hypothyroidism, MTHFR and stillbirth06:53 - Nutritional deficiencies08:05 - MTHFR is linked to all of these - infertility, multiple pregnancy loss, hypermobility, and hypothyroidism.09:04 - Raising awareness for women10:15 - Emotional impact of pregnancy loss11:30 - The societal value of childless women12:25 - problems with 5mg folic acid as a fertility intervention with MTHFRHere is a link to Mary's full-length interview: https://youtu.be/kw3srswszyEThanks so much for watching!

What really causes cancer—and what are we missing when it comes to testing, treatment, and prevention? In this episode, I'm joined by my own doctor, Dr. Donese Worden, to take you inside my cancer journey in a way I've never shared before. We dive into the questions so many of us face—what actually causes cancer, why stress is one of the most overlooked drivers, and why most cancers aren't genetic despite what conventional medicine focuses on. You'll hear how toxins, lifestyle, and even hormones play a role, what your mitochondria have to do with it, and how nutrition, stress management, and metabolic therapies can literally shift outcomes. We also pull back the curtain on the tests that often aren't run, the treatments that can make a difference, and the integrative strategies that blend conventional and functional medicine for a clearer path forward. This is part one of a two-part conversation, and it is packed with insights, controversial questions, and the kind of information every patient (or loved one of a patient) deserves but rarely receives.

In this episode, we sit down with McCall McPherson, physician assistant, thyroid expert, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, to shine a light on the hidden epidemic of thyroid dysfunction. McCall shares her unique perspective as both a clinician and a patient, offering compassionate, evidence-based insights into conditions like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease. We'll explore why thyroid symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, how to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system, and what treatment options can make the biggest difference. Plus, we dive into the emerging conversation around GLP-1 medications—what they mean for thyroid health, how they intersect with metabolic balance, and what women in midlife need to know about long-term hormone health. Whether you're struggling with fatigue, weight changes, or brain fog—or simply want to understand how the thyroid impacts your overall vitality—this conversation is full of actionable takeaways, hope, and clarity.

What happens when too much T4 builds up in the body—and could it actually raise your risk of cancer? I'm digging into the latest studies that suggest a connection between high free T4 levels and cancer progression, and breaking down what this really means for anyone on thyroid medication. You'll hear why the issue isn't the pill itself, but the dosing, the conversion to T3, and how reverse T3 plays a hidden role in slowing down your entire system. I'll explain how T4 can mimic estrogen in certain cancers, why reverse T3 puts your body into “hibernation mode,” and the essential nutrients that can protect your thyroid and keep conversion running smoothly. If you've ever wondered whether your thyroid meds could be hurting you instead of helping—or if you want clarity on how to lower risk and finally feel better—this conversation will give you the answers you've been searching for.

In this episode, we uncover what really happens when your thyroid slows down—and why shedding pounds becomes an uphill battle.We'll dig into the science behind:How hypothyroidism drags down your metabolism—even when you're on treatment Why insulin resistance and leptin resistance throw off your hunger cues and fat storage systemsWhat role do things like appetite spikes, water retention, fatigue and joint pain play in stalling weight loss efforts And most importantly: we'll map out a realistic path forward. Think beyond calories.

What if the symptoms you're battling aren't just about your thyroid, hormones, or even your genetics, but about unresolved trauma living in your body? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian to explore the fascinating and often overlooked connection between trauma biology, nervous system regulation, and thyroid health. We break down how unresolved experiences (ones you may not even think of as trauma) can keep your body stuck in survival mode, fueling autoimmunity, hormone imbalances, and even chronic disease. Dr. Aimie explains the five steps of the trauma response, why traditional talk therapy often falls short, and what it really takes to rewire your nervous system for healing. You'll also hear us dive into how perfectionism, stress patterns, and unresolved childhood experiences can show up decades later as Hashimoto's, hormone chaos, or even cancer—and what to do if you're tired of chasing protocols that never seem to work.

Together, we explore hypothyroidism through the Ayurvedic lens, including: How Ayurveda understands the thyroid and its role in the body The symptoms and root causes of hypothyroidism  The doshas and dhatus involved in thyroid imbalance The role of ojas, stress, emotional health and energetic balance  How dinacharya (daily routine), ritucharya (seasonal routine), and regular cleansing can support thyroid health Ayurvedic dietary guidelines for those with hypothyroidism A case study from Vaidya Kamya's clinical practice Whether you're living with hypothyroidism or simply curious about how Ayurveda views thyroid health, this episode offers insight and practical wisdom for supporting balance and vitality.

In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Felice Gersh, we shift the focus to progesterone and what it really means for your health. You've probably heard that progesterone is only important if you have a uterus, or that it's just about preventing uterine cancer, but that's far from the whole story.You'll hear why oral progesterone, the most common form prescribed, may actually be doing more harm than good, how it creates unnaturally high levels of certain metabolites that can sedate the brain, and why this could even impact memory long-term. We also talk about safer and more effective ways to use progesterone that actually work with your body.And if you're in menopause, or even decades past it, you'll discover why cycling hormones still matters and how it can support your brain, bones, immune system, and thyroid health. This conversation will challenge so much of what you've been told and open the door to thinking about hormones in a whole new way.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/connection-progesterone-estrogen-hashimotos-dr-felice-gersh-2/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto's at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

What's the truth behind GLP medications, thyroid testing, iodine, and hormone replacement therapy—and what should you really believe? In this episode, I'm giving you my honest opinion on some of the most controversial topics in the thyroid and hormone space. From the polarizing debates around GLP-1 medications to the truth about free T3 testing, iodine supplementation, and whether HRT increases cancer risk, I break down the science, share real patient experiences, and call out the misinformation that's keeping women stuck. You'll hear why blanket “good” or “bad” labels don't work, how to know if you're using the right tests at the right time, and why iodine may be the missing link in protecting your thyroid and overall health.

What happens when two women who've both faced cancer sit down and share the raw truth about their journeys? In this episode, I open up about my own diagnosis of uterine cancer and the difficult decisions that followed—while my guest, Jen Delvaux, shares her experience navigating breast cancer, alongside supporting her husband through brain cancer. Together, we unpack the realities of life after diagnosis, the emotional rollercoaster of treatment, and how fear, stress, and mindset play a powerful role in healing. We dive into the controversial questions every cancer patient wrestles with: Should you remove organs at the first warning sign? What about alternative therapies? How do you decide on hormones after a hormone-positive cancer diagnosis? And can biohacks like red light therapy, oxygen training, and even nicotine patches or ivermectin really make a difference? This is a conversation about resilience, self-trust, and learning to live without fear. Whether you've personally faced cancer, love someone who has, or simply want to understand how to protect your health while still living fully, this episode will challenge the way you think about healing and prevention.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the importance of trace minerals selenium and iodine, their health benefits, and food sources. Leyla details the roles of selenium in immunity, thyroid function, antioxidant protection, reproductive health, DNA synthesis, and reducing cancer risk. She addresses sources such as Brazil nuts, seafood, and enriched foods while cautioning about possible toxicity. Leyla then covers iodine's critical function in thyroid hormone production, brain development, and immune support, highlighting sources like seaweed and iodized salt. Emphasizing the global concern of iodine deficiency, especially in pregnant women, she underscores the minerals' significance for overall health.

Heavy metals, chemicals, and hidden halogens are disrupting thyroid function and fueling Graves' and Hashimoto's. Millions struggle with weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, or unexplained symptoms, yet doctors often run only basic tests that miss the bigger picture.  Dr. Eric Osansky joins me to unpack how toxins affect thyroid hormones, why most thyroid disease is autoimmune in nature, and the natural approaches that can support healing.

Can you really get the life-extending, disease-preventing benefits of fasting… without actually fasting? That's the question I dive into today with Dr. Chris Rhodes, a nutritional biochemist who spent years mapping what happens in the body during prolonged fasts. We explore the powerful cellular changes that fasting triggers, from autophagy and DNA repair to inflammation reduction and longevity - and how a new supplement may mimic those same benefits without the hunger, muscle loss, or social challenges that come with extended fasting. We get into the surprising ways fasting impacts cancer risk, thyroid health, weight loss, and even aging itself. You'll hear about the groundbreaking research behind Mimio, why certain molecules only appear in the body after 36+ hours of fasting, and how scientists combined them into a formula shown to extend lifespan by nearly double in lab studies. If you've ever struggled to stick with fasting protocols, worried about protein loss, or wondered whether fasting is even safe for women in perimenopause and menopause, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new possibility. Tune in! You may never look at fasting (or longevity) the same way again.

A hidden detail buried in evidence photos from Bryan Kohberger's apartment has just come to light. Amid the stacks of papers and personal items was a prescription slip with a National Drug Code. That code confirms the medication he was taking: Levothyroxine. This isn't speculation — it's documented. Levothyroxine is prescribed for hypothyroidism, a thyroid condition where the body doesn't produce enough hormones to regulate energy, mood, and metabolism. Millions of people take it safely every single day. But in the context of Kohberger, it opens a new line of understanding. Hypothyroidism can cause fatigue, depression, mental fog, or obsessive loops. If over-corrected, Levothyroxine can swing the body the other direction — creating sleeplessness, jitteriness, irritability, and racing thoughts. For a man already known for obsessive control, cold stares, late-night pacing, and compulsive behaviors, this layer of instability may have amplified what witnesses were already noticing. This is not about demonizing medication. Levothyroxine is safe. But the revelation that Kohberger needed it shows his body was already unsteady, his chemistry already in flux. In someone consumed by control and obsession, that instability could have been one more factor feeding the storm. It doesn't excuse what he did. The drug didn't cause murder. But it's another clue that helps explain why Kohberger presented the way he did — restless, rigid, obsessive, and unsettling to those around him. This discovery changes the frame of the story. The evidence shows not just a man obsessed with criminology, but a man whose own body was at war with balance.

Can oxygen make you younger, heal your body faster, and even change how you sleep? That's the question I wanted answered when I sat down with Dr. Joe Dituri (better known as Dr. Deep Sea), a retired naval officer, biomedical engineer, and Guinness World Record holder who spent 100 days living underwater. His mission? To study what hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) really does to the human body. In this episode, you'll hear how HBOT reduced his inflammation, extended his telomeres, doubled his deep sleep, and even led to unexpected weight loss, all while he lived in a constant pressurized environment. We unpack the science behind soft-sided vs. hard-sided chambers, the truth about safety concerns, and how this therapy may play a role in everything from post-surgery healing to hormone balance, diabetes, and even cancer research. We also dive into Dr. Joe's “five longevity cures,” why stem cell activation matters, and how lifestyle choices, like hydration to strength training, intertwine with advanced therapies to keep your body thriving. If you've ever wondered whether HBOT is just hype or a genuine tool for healing, anti-aging, and prevention, this conversation will open your eyes to what's possible.

This episode, I'm zooming in on safe, effective options that won't leave your heart racing or cause you more harm than good. I'm talking about the unsung heroes like T2 (3,5-diiodo-l-thyronine) and L-tyrosine, which can boost your metabolism and even help with fat burning while keeping your muscle mass intact.
